My Grinder made short work of the IFS.... SAS 1991 4Runner

Awesome.

I finished up my R151/R150 hybrid transmission last night. I didn't want to purchase the $350 adapter and $150.00 23 spline input needed to bolt gear drive dual cases behind my 96+ R150 so I took 3 transmissions I had in the garage and made the one I wanted.

This is my set-up now.

3.4 Motor -|- 96+ R150 Bell-housing and input -|- 89 R150 Trans Gears -|- R151 Tail-Housing -|- R151 Transfer Case -|- 23 spline Dual Adapter -|- 23 spine top-shift case.

I had to use the 96+ bell-housing and input because they are 1" longer than the 95 and older ones. I had to use a 95- R150 as the R151 tail-housing wouldn't bolt up to the 96+ trans because it a little different.

Here are a few pictures. I know everyone love pictures.

R150 Inputs - left = 96+ | right = 95 and older





The yellow circled areas show the difference between the R151, PRE 95 R150 and the 96+ R150. The newer R150 was changed around in the rear tail-housing a little. The internals are the same as the older R151 and R150.

Nice tranny exchange to get what you want out of what you already had.

I thought I almost had my truck done then found out i got the wrong rotors so i had to order them then i need on rear hard line and and new rear wheel cylinders. maybe I can bang it out tonight. we will see. Then i have to drive it to work Shockless to weld up my hoops on the front and mount my $20 dollar non leaking Rancho 9012's on the front. Thank you Craigslist. then probably running F250 rear shocks with a bracket to convert it from rear pin to eye style mount.

Love my triples!!

yotaman

Very nice. You have a body lift correct? Would you say they'd work without one? I was going to order them from him last week but then I remembered I have rear heat and I don't think I have much room to do a lot of hammering.

dntsdad

Mine isnt a Taco but this should give you reference.

I have 2" bodylift. It wouldn't go without, or clearancing the tunnel, raising it up, and then reinstalling the console.

yotaman

Thanks for posting those pictures. I was afraid they'd be like that. Davez offroad also had a triple shifter. He's design keeps everything on the sides of the case. I think I may give davez a try.

I've been working on my dual cases the last few days. I went to install my upgraded Long output in the rear case but couldn't finish that as the snap ring is not reusable so I have to order one from Toyota to finish up the rear case.

I moved to the front reduction case but ended up breaking my snap ring pliers. I now have to find a better set that I can get locally as I'd like to have my cases done by this weekend so I can move on to installing my gears in the thirds.

I sold my 38's Toyo's today.

I'm going to get a set of re-centered H1's and some 37x12.5x16.5 radial Pitbull Rockers.

dntsdad

I saw the prototype that DAve is making and its really nice as well. Dave is a really cool guy to boot!!

Not local for you but I bought the ones that Marlin sells. They are great. Really handy that Marlin is 2 miles from my house and I drive right by there twice a day to work and back . Bad thing is the drive home from work is expensive sometimes

yotaman

Yeah Dave is cool. I'm getting one of his triples.

I found the same set Marlin sells at Sears for $13.00. They work great. I also found an awesome set of lock ring pliers to remove the out put shaft lock ring so I can get the lock rang gear off and also install my cromo Bobby Long output.

Here's some pictures. The napa ones on the far left are P.O.S. crap. Plus they charged me $40.00. Sears had the same ones for $12.00.



I got my Aussie Locker in the other day. It's for the front axle.

yotaman

Removed - Changed direction. Read on.

Man these forums are slooooooow. Do I need to change the title to something more catchy to get some more attention. LOL!

I just ordered my Pitbull Rockers. I found them for a good deal with shipping. These tires are bad.



I ended up with 37x12.5x17's. I wanted to run some H1 double bead-locks but I just couldn't justify the extra cost for the tires and the 1k+ for the rims. I can't see me wheeling crazy enough to need bead-locks right now. If I do end up needing them I'll just weld on some DIY ones or get some later.

tlrskunk

Where did you get them from? I have wanted to try them for quite sometime now.

Maybe i will sell my Pro comps....

yotaman

Not sure it'll help you but it's a guy on Craigslist in FL that sells them. He had the best price on the 17's plus he can use a carrier to get them to most places in GA so that saved me a tom of $$$ on shipping.

Give him a call. He said he could get good freight quotes also. Tell him Greg sent you. LOL.

His name is Tony - 727-522-4100

Hmmm... Might have to give him a call as I am only about 4 hours from St. Louis....

yotaman

I think you'll like them a lot. I couldn't find one really bad review on them. The only people that talked crap about them were the people that had never owned them.

The guy I got them from said he's expecting to get 40K+ miles out them on his daily driver. I think he said he had them on his F250 or something like that.

tlrskunk

The only thing that sucks is he doesn't list a 37 in a 15' rim and i don't want to buy new wheels and I want radials. They are listed on their website though so i am sure he can probably get them...

yotaman

He has them or can get them. If pitbull makes it he has it in stock.
